    01:15 - intro
    01:53 - Kyle Connor bragging about Tesla’s new FSD and getting immediate karma cold open and a potential Waymo podcast
    13:20 - email follow-up from last show about the difficulty of turning off driving assists
    18:45 - the definition of quartermaster and further thoughts from Zack on the INEOS Grenadier
    22:13 - a weird occurrence with the Spyder’s gear indicator and new tires
    27:36 - an M3 wrap update from Zack
    34:58 - Bashar al-Assad’s car collection
    37:58 - “you know what I do fit in?” - the Explorer ST
    45:00 - Matt is tired of cars needing a cellular connection for GPS functionality
    Patreon questions:
    52:11 - what EVs are the best for RWD shenanigans like burnouts, donuts, and drifting?
    53:31 - what, if anything, would I miss going from my F80 M3 to a new CT5-V Blackwing? I’m told that the CT5 with precision pack will be nearly impossible to get; should I go for a CT4-V instead?
    56:36 - if INEOS is doing the 30-year-old-new-car thing for off-road, who is doing the equivalent for sports cars?
    58:35 - looking to get my first car after moving to San Diego, looking for a cruiser/commuter under $10k, want to maximize uniqueness/cool factor and minimize up-front running costs
    1:00:27 - living in NYC, have a 2012 Golf TDI w/ manual that is starting to show its age; considering a Mk7 Golf R, any other hot hatches that I should consider for under $30k?
    1:02:50 - living outside Toronto and getting dumped on; keeping this in mind, can you think of anything more fun than a GR Corrolla for an all-weather car?
    1:04:23 - if you had ended up on Pimp My Ride 20 years ago, what random detail about your life at the time would West Coast Customs run wild with?
    1:06:26 - how about the INEOS and a Myers Manx as a unique and timeless two-car solution?
    1:07:05 - looking at a new Nismo Z but with Nissan in hot water at the moment and the Supra being discontinued for a couple of years, what other cars should I consider that would give a similar experience to the Z/Supra?
    1:09:08 - thoughts on the Jaguar type 00 concept?
    1:13:25 - does the BMW gearshift on the Grenadier bother you as much as it bothers me? Or can you look past it as a low-production thing?
    1:14:48 - have you experienced any cars/brands that seemed to have exceptionally good microphone quality when taking phone calls?
    1:16:12 - Jaguar has allegedly intentionally alienated its existing customers in an attempt to reinvent itself, they claim they only plan on 20% of their future customers being repeats and 80% being new to the brand; can you think of a time another car company has done such a drastic change? Did it work?
    1:18:38 - if you had a wife-imposed budget of “as cheap as possible,” what is the sweet spot of getting into 911 ownership?
    1:20:39 - do you think infotainment systems will ever be a serious factor in collector car values?
    1:21:38 - how do CAFE standards apply to a company like INEOS?
    1:22:08 - looking for a fun manual car in the $30k range with four doors, not scared about maintenance and have a soft spot for the B7 RS4 but any other cars that I should look at?
    1:23:43 - with the new Blackwing would you, living in LA, each personally prefer the manual w/o adaptive cruise or the auto with adaptive cruise?
    1:24:43 - starting Jan 1st Maine is changing its minimum age for antique auto registration from 25 yrs to 35 yrs; do you think this is a justified move?
    1:26:25 - weigh in as a daily driver: E63 wagon vs RS6?
    1:26:43 - as a South Australian I will complete the ultra high powered vehicle license and report back with my findings; if it were up to you what would training for this license look like if it were to be effective?
    1:28:18 - at what price does a McLaren 12C become an interesting risk to take?
    1:29:57 - manual transmission RWD NA experience for $25-35k; priorities are engagement, sound, and a quality interior; E46 and Cayman S come to mind but anything else?
    1:31:26 - sorting through a box and found an old Longines [sp?] watch belonging to my grandfather from 1938; it’s a little haggard but the movement still works; who/what should I do for a possible restoration?
    1:33:05 - outro (and notice that TST will be off all Jan 2025)

    I honestly hate to pull the "I'm a Navy veteran" card, but Quartermaster was one of the original rates within the Navy along with Gunner's Mate. Gunner's Mate, as the name suggests was in charge of the guns, including small arms and large cannons. Quartermasters were in charge of day to day operations such as below deck cleanliness, go-for for the captain, and navigation. In the modern Navy Quartermasters solely are in charge of navigation, and the Gunner's Mate's responsibilities have remained the same.

    • @lionstonylb
      @lionstonylb 26 днів тому +1

      Hate to pull the Army veteran card but from Britannica: quartermaster, officer who superintends arrangements for the quartering and movement of troops. In Europe the office dates back at least to the 15th century. During the late 17th century, when the minister of war of King Louis XIV of France reorganized the army, he created a quartermaster general's department that dotted the countryside with strategically located and defended magazines of food, forage, ammunition, and equipment. It can mean multiple things.

    I had a Subaru Impreza loaner and having to disable ADAS systems everytime I started it was INSANELY FRUSTRATING. The braking alerts were driving me nuts in bumper to bumper traffic. In order to stay close enough to the car in front to not get cut off by late mergers you have to stay pretty close and it beeps even if you're going like 1MPH.

      Look at all the modern BMW memes, but people are buying the cars as most are not cross shopping it with an E36 track rat. JLR are £1.2b in profit and like many sub brands with a juicy earner diversification is better than dilution. Look at any French car adverts and it's not unique, but they did miss having a product at the end.

      Lane keep assist is first on the list. Unless you like being ping ponged between the lanes. Blind spot detection is the only useful one. The emergency braking is good in theory but it can bug out and cause heavy braking for no reason.

Mine only triggers when i forget to signal a lane change or something.

Or because some or most are very rare/limited/one off coach built that they should be preserved whether it’s through private sale or put into a museum? Personally, I’m conflicted on what would be the right decision.

    You can't have different people driving to different standards with regards to speed limits especially. One of the most dangerous things on the road is the difference of speeds between cars... it only sets up problems. I think anywhere in the world people driving cars with high power to weight ratio should have to undergo special training to show they can handle the car... just like Pilots have to have a license to handle certain classes of plane.
    I mentioned last blog you guys did... with the SOUTH AUSTRALIA government targeting driving of those cars who only have higher power to weight ratio, it's going to affect very few and thus cannot be seen as revenue raising. Plus, the FACT it is written in the blood of SOPHIE NAISMITH, the girl who dies at the hands of an idiotic Lambo driver who didn't know how to handle the power, and is known as SOPHIE'S LAW, is all we need to understand about it's reason for being. There is NO controversy here... just common sense.
    In Australia, more so than is in America, we view being part of a society as a RESPONSIBILITY and we understand why certain things are law. Americans seem to jump up and down about RIGHTS, with little regard to responsibilities.
    It's why a lot of Americans come to our shores to live, because the law makes more sense in Australia than it does in America...
    Seriously... America has just allowed a convicted felon to run for President, and then collectively decided he was a better choice to lead the country than the Attorney...!
    That sort of shows America doesn't understand what law actually is and why there must be rules for society... applied EVENLY and FAIRLY to all people, and SENSIBLY to try and achieve the goals.

    I'm sorry but GPS by definition uses satellites for positioning. I understand the problem with 4G navigation but I'm pretty sure you describe it wrong. Having no offline maps is different than having no satellite positioning. Just like your phone can and will do positioning even without 4g connection, but you must have pre-loaded offline maps e.g in Google maps for the positioning to be helpful for you. Otherwise it's a dot in the desert

    I have to disagree with the opinion that Emergency Braking is always good. Last Friday I was driving in heavy stop and go traffic on I880 in Oakland. Traffic picked up to about 50mph then stopped. I was on a calculated path to stop 3-4 feet behind the car I was following. Then the EB system kicked in and stopped my car(Subaru Forester) 15 feet away. I was immediately rewarded by getting hit from behind.

    Jaguar are aiming at a completely different market... and they will alienate their previous buyers. People like Harry Metcalf... won't be buying the new offering that is for sure.
    Porsche going water cooled was not the same, and then making SUV didn't mean they dropped their previous model style and target market.
    Porsche expanded their market and everyone knew the days of the air cooled was coming to a close.
    Jaguar are trying to leave one market, and hit a different market... I don;t think they will be successful.
    There are already new Jag EV's out there on the road testing with all the funky camouflage.... they don't appear to look as bad as the concept.

      It is more of a Harley Davidson moment with their marketing. They have leaned into the 70s era and now even if it was a decent product, like the live wire was. The pushback is hard as the image is so married to the past. To be fair the advert was not crazy, any French car has similar themes. Plus BMW melted the memes with their new look and people are buying them, rather than trading in their E30 M3 on a new iX
